Community Values & Honor Code

Community Values

It Is Essential to Foster a Supportive Online Learning Environment.

We believe it is essential for all participants to exemplify and uphold the Community Values in order to foster a supportive online learning environment where individuals can have open discussion, reflect on their thinking, and learn from each other.

The mission is to educate leaders who make a difference in the world. Achieving this mission requires an environment of trust and mutual respect, free expression and inquiry, and a commitment to truth, excellence, and lifelong learning.

Students, program participants, faculty, staff, and alumni accept these principles when they join the community. In doing so, they agree to abide by the following Community Values:

We can and should be a living model of these values. To this end, community members have a personal responsibility to integrate these values into every aspect of their experience.

Through our personal commitment to these values, we can create an environment in which all can achieve their full potential.

Honor Code

A Commitment of Honor, Honesty, and Stewardship.

The Honor Code supplements the statement of Community Values and reflects the commitment participants make as members of the learning community to participate in, foster, and uphold the Learning Model.

By participating in this course, you agree to:

Failure to abide by the Community Values or Honor Code may result in removal from the course.
